Center for Student Success
The Eugene P. Beard Center for Student Success (CSS) launched in fall 2022, marking the beginning of a new era for the Palumbo-Donahue School of Business. The Center is the realization of the School's integrated, holistic approach for serving students. To realize this vision, staff roles across the school were reimagined to better support students, and the 7th floor of Rockwell Hall was completely renovated, making the Center a physical reality.
With the launch of the CSS, business students receive a comprehensive experience, from their first contact with the School as high school students through graduation and their transition to alumni.
Student Success Coaches
Student Success Coaches are the heart of the CSS. Each coach is responsible for specific academic programs, and they advise and counsel all students in their respective programs. Coaches have a deep understanding of their programs and their respective fields, allowing them to better meet the needs of their students.
Still Exploring Which Major is Right for You?
We have resources for students who are still deciding on their major. One of our Success Coaches is dedicated to undeclared students, and the entire CSS team is ready to help undeclared students find their perfect academic path.
“The new Center for Student Success offers unparalleled access to an entire network of support. With Coaches more involved in the recruitment process, the student-Coach relationship begins earlier than ever so that new students hit the ground running, planning out their paths to graduation early in the process, and Coaches can find ways to maximize opportunities that they may have never considered."
